Public bug reported:
I have VPNs configured in Network Manager, one of which is a default
work VPN. That VPN is configured to connect whenever the network
connection is active on my desktop, thus every time I reboot, the
connection for eth0 is active and the VPN connects automatically.
I've noticed, however, that the NM icon in the tray does not show this
connected status when the automatic connection is made.
Ordinarily, if I manually connect to a VPN, the status icon changes from
two arrows (this is a wired connection) to two arrows with a padlock
indicating a secured VPN connection.
When I boot this system and the VPN connection is established
automatically, however, the icon does not display the padlock, BUT if
you look at NM/VPN Connections/ you can clearly see the connection
marked as active by the check mark next to it.
If I boot the machine and the NM icon is in this state, I can manually
shut down and restart the VPN link and the icon changes to show the VPN
connection as it should.
The screen shot attached shows the icon after a boot, as well as the VPN
connections list with the currently active VPN highlighted by the
checkmark.
Additionally, If I manually disconnect the wired connection and
reconnect it, again, the icon shows the secure established VPN
connection.
Expected Behaviour:
The NM status icon should ALWAYS show the padlock when a VPN connection
is made, regardless of whether it is automatic or not.
